If you love Syriana, you will love Guy's Little Detroit as well.

Guy's Little Detroit is a movie based on Syriana and filmed in Martinsburg, WV. The main character is a man named Guy who once worked on cars in Detroit who owns his own auto shop in Martinsburg. There are three main facets of the plot:

1) A bigger auto shop, Autoworks, is trying to buy out Guy's Little Detroit due to losing a deal with a local parking lot. However, the Martinsburg City Council is looking into the merger and not approving it.

2) Mistreated Mexicans who work for Autoworks are layed off because of the possible merger, so they get shipped back to Mexico because they are illegal. Then they start smuggling drugs over the borders.

3) The Mayor of Martinsburg's son is pressuring the council to approve the merger because the son is the boyfriend of the Autoworks owner. They are homosexuals. Moreover, the owner of Autoworks has a contact within a very successful Law Firm, owned by Michael Burke II. Burke's son, Michael Burke III (based on a true person on this forum), gave personal favors to the owner of Autoworks and will recieve money when the merger is approved. Members of the Burke Law firm are the leading lawyers of the merger.

Here are some memorable quotes from Guy's Little Detroit:

Martinsburg Mayor: What are they thinking, my son and these American lawyers?
Brian Steelman (Car advisor): What are they thinking? They're thinking that it's running out. It's running out... and 0.000000003 percent of the cars left are in Martinsburg. This is a fight to the death.

Danny Galton (Danny G): Some trust fund council, got off-message at Martinsburg Community College, thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole, make a name for himself, maybe get elected some two-bit, representitive from nowhere, with the result that Hagerstown or Frederick can suddenly start having, at our expense, all the good car servicing we have here. No, I tell you. No, sir. Faggot charges! Faggots? Faggots are human intrusion in to human efficiencies in the form of being gay. That was Guy Smith, he won a goddamn automobile prize. We have laws against same sex-marriage just so we can benefit from it. Faggots are our protection. Faggots keep us safe and warm. Faggots, are why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting for some pussy out in the street. Faggots, are why we win.


Brian Steelman (Car advisor): But what do you need a car advisor for? Twenty years ago you had the highest car sales in Berkely County, now you're tied with Jefferson, so good work. You know what the automobile community thinks of you? They think that a hundred years ago you were living in Martinsburg out here in West Virginia chopping each other's mufflers off and that's where you'll be in another hundred years, so on behalf of my car I accept your offer.

Brian Steelman: What, Shepherdstown? It's great. It's like the Baghdad of mid-West.

Jimmy Dope (CEO of Autoworks): How did some lawyer... what's a lawyer anyway? How some goddamn lawyer tossed us out on our ass. Our main investments that will bear fruit for this company... hell, every company in the world wanted into West Virginia, into Martinsburg. But Guy's Little Detroit got it and then Autoworks wanted Guy's Little Detroit and then here we are! Hell, we have heard of the Martinsburg city merger violation approval laws, I've got it taped to the wall of my head!

Guy: Now Danny G here is a PROUD member of the Committee to Liberate Martinsburg. I am too.
Danny G: G Stands for nigger lover. I was on the other side of the Slurpee Deal.
Ben Karb (Jewish Lawyer): The other side?
Guy: 7-11 owner Xiogu Chen's best friend in the wide world.
Danny G: She's a beautiful place Martinsburg, Goddamn she's a beautiful place.




The movie begins with the Syriana backround music with the abused Mexicans waiting to ride the bus home. The movie ends with a car blowing up.




Guy's Little Detroit will be in theatres in the coming years. Be sure to check it out.

Syriana was the most boring movie ever and this coming from someone who enjoys slow paced-close-to-boring films.

Syriana is one of my favorite movies and this comes from someone who loves extremely complicated plots. I thought it was very interesting and I've probably seen it 30 times.

I like all of that but it's worth nothing if it doesn't keep you interested. The main flaw of Syriana IMO is that it's the same pace all along, till the end of the movie I didn't get excited once. That said perhaps one can get around that if he's really into politics and such, personally I'm not.

I've seen it once and slept throughout pretty much the whole movie.

None of which require more than one half open eye lid to follow the plot :p

I don't love it as much as Andy, but I thought it was a good movie, interesting plot. I like political/diplomatic intrigue.

Some of you might not know this but Rodrigo Santoro has played the gay character before...seems like he's labeled now :p



Scene out of "Carandiru"- a Brazilian movie about an actual prison riot.

ps: The movie is recommended btw. If you liked City of God than you'll probably like this as well.
city of god is amazing

I saw Bourne Ultimatum over the weeked and it was awesome, as expected. If you're a Bourne Series fan like me, then you must get your ass going and see the movie in the theatres.

*SPOILER AFTER THIS POINT*

While the movie did answer many questions, it also proposed many other questions. One of them is regarding a possible relationship between the Nicky and Bourne before Bourne was brainwashed, but he doesn't remember anything. That's partly why Bourne recieved so much help from Nicky in this movie.
man i am so looking forward to this but have to ait 10 more days till it hits our shores. not sure what to expect as i read all the books and tehya re vastly different. actually think the films would ahve been better if tehy had brought in the whole rivalry with carlos the jackal...... still avsolutely fantastic movies

Well, it is a Drama, not some Action/Adventure.

Are you saying Drama can't offer excitement?


Yesterday I saw The Simpsons movie and thought it was great, just as good as the TV shows, it didn't disapoint at all. I hardly noticed it runs over 1:20h, they really did a good job.

I loved the joke which Bart was writing on the board. :D

Not only that, but also the fact that the film is so difficult to follow and you have to sew the connections together in your mind. It's no joke why my three favorite films are 21 Grams, Crash and Syriana.
